    Palestinian fears grow amid rising Israeli settler attacks

    These atrocities by extremist Israelis settlers (think Orthodox and extreme-right wing Jews) on the Palestinian people, who have lived on this land way before Israel was a sparkle in the Rothschild's eye, has been deemed a war crime by the UN.

    Anyone hear about any attacks from the Global Day of Jihad? There were demonstrations, including in Tampa. Which is what I understood an accurate translation of the call requested.

    But we were warned of massive attacks such that we should preemptively hate and/or attack all Muslims. Did I miss the danger?

    No, but they can make resolutions, including the all-time record-breaking Israel government's 28 broken resolutions for war crimes against the Palestinian people.

    You can read more about these 28 warcrimes here:
    Crime of Apartheid

    and here:

    But, I guess some people here would say that the UN and Amnesty International are fake news sources who have it "out" regarding Israel.

    You did not miss any danger, although due to being Friday 13th, I was armed with a wooden stake and silver bullets.

    However, be on the lookout for werewolves during the eclipse tomorrow late morning ET.

    Interesting usage of “the Ukraine”.

    There are some very ignorant folks if they think Likud and Netanyahu were ever interested in compromise and peace. They're hardliners who intentionally empowered Hamas for years because it weakened the Palestinian National Authority and killed any chance of a unified Palestinian state. Likud's hostility to peace is nothing new.
    The Hamas-Likud Connection
    For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces
    Why did Netanyahu want to strengthen Hamas?

    I would caution you to be on the lookout for sensational propaganda such as this. Just be aware that is may or may not be real. We already have enough information to determine Hamas are terrorists and quite brutal. We didn’t need this story to confirm anything for us we didn’t already know, but we still got it. Could be very legit, but I’m getting skeptical at some of this stuff, because there are political agendas at play here. Regardless of who or whom I support/don’t support, the propaganda appears to be thick on both sides of this war.

    That is unimaginable and super-scary. It's incomprehensible.

    It's beyond repulsive. But I can't say it's incomprehensible. I don't make this point to be callous. Rather, I make this point out of sadness. Monsters targeting schools are a reality that have become too common here.

    I am curious why they would plan to attack schools on a religious holiday. It might have been an early plan not executed in favor of the advantages that the selected day had.

    It appears this is true, confirmed by reputable media. Hard to understand

    It’s not hard to understand. It’s called retribution. I just dislike how they try to act like this isn’t what they are intending to do. Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining.

    The OP never responds to the discussion they started?

    I think he said all he had to say in the extremely lengthy OP.
